Neurosurgeons fail to fix a wayward night owl
My tribe consists of competitive overachievers. We used to call them “gunners” in medical school, and Gunners tend to be morning people, or “larks.” Let’s be honest; people are impressed by those who are up at 4 a.m., training for their next ultramarathon before heading to their noble jobs.

Bacteria can cause many common illnesses, including strep throat and ear infections.

Workflow Automation To Help Deliver Services to Marginalized Populations
The recent turn to a more holistic health care system—such as the interest in dealing with social determinants of health, covered in a recent SDoH series on this site—places a new urgency on connecting patients to services that provide counseling, food, transportation, and other needs that affect their health. Many people among impoverished and under-represented populations don’t use the services to which they’re entitled. The people might not realize these services exist, or don’t think they need help, or don’t think they deserve it. Many of these people enter the ecosystem of human resource o...

Y2Q and You
By KIM BELLARD Chances are, you’ve at least somewhat concerned about your privacy, especially your digital privacy.  Chances are, you’re right to be.  Every day, it seems, there are more reports about data beeches, cyberattacks, and selling or other misuse of confidential/personal data.  We talk about privacy, but we’re failing to adequately protect it. But chances are you’re not worried nearly enough. Y2Q is coming.  That is, I must admit, a phrase I had not heard of until recently. If you are of a certain age, you’ll remember Y2K, the fear that the year 2000 would cause computers ev...

Automation Drives Optimal Use of Temp Nurses
Staffing has become alarmingly tight in health care, driven by aging and a less healthy population, an aging workforce, bureaucratic demands from payers that disincentivize staff, and the traumas of the COVID-19 crisis and increasing violence against staff. Temps, often traveling long distances, have been making up the difference between supply and demand in staffing. The critical shortage has interfered with well-intentioned regulatory goals. ShiftMed, though, has been taking a sleeker and friendlier direction in temporary staffing. On the institutional side, pressures to reduce staff costs intersect with desperate needs ...

Interview with Oxeon CEO, Sonia Millsom
Sonia Millsom is the relatively new CEO at Oxeon, which became the dominant executive search (headhunter) firm in digital health over the past decade or so. The company was built by Trevor Price and team. Sonia discussed the transition to her leadership, the other things Oxeon does (venture studio, relationship to TownHall Ventures), and the state of the employment market in digital health. TL:DR on that, it’s slowed but they are doing a lot of work and still growing.–Matthew Holt (Source: The Health Care Blog)

GoodWill ’ s Lessons for Health Care
